FAQs About Billing and Payments

Zenefits accepts all major credit and debit cards, and electronic bank transfers using ACH.

An administrator can add a payment method to their account by following the steps below.

1. After logging in, navigate to the Company Profile app

2. Go to the Billing & Payments tab from the left hand menu

3. Add or update the payment method

You can add a credit card, debit card, or bank account on the Billing and Payments page of your company profile. If you have both a bank account and a credit or debit card on file, you can select which payment method you’d like to use for billing by assigning one as your Billing Method.

If your billing method fails, we’ll send you an email asking you to re-enter your billing information. Once you enter new billing information, we’ll attempt to process your payment again.

We understand this may raise some questions. Check out our Billing and Package Change FAQ here.
